The Head Coach, Abdallah Mubiru, caught up with this website ahead of #VIPKCCA and said,
We have prepared well ahead of the fixture against Vipers SC. The match is definitely a top-of-the table clash because either team that wins the game will go top but it is not a derby. We welcome back Joel Sserunjogi to the team, and he will make the matchday squad, but we will not have Nsibambi, Poloto, Gabriel, Magambo, and Anyama due to injuries. The rest of the squad is available for the game.
Abdallah Mubiru.
